Wildlife Rangers of the famed Jim Corbett National Park in Uttarakhand have lent a healing touch to an orphaned and injured tiger cub.

In the course of their routine patrolling of the area, the wildlife wardens spotted a striped tiger cub in a pitiable situation and picked it up for treatment by the veterinarians.

"We found a tiger cub which is about 15 to 20 days old. The tiger has injuries near its tail and on its back. The tiger had insects sticking to its body," said Gangashwer Pandey, Director of Jim Corbett Tiger Reserve Park.

The injured cub would be released back into its natural habitat after undergoing complete treatment and till then it will stay under the care of the Forest Department. (ANI)
